All four sides have different lengths and it looks like a rectangle but its not cause the inner angles on each point is not 90 degrees.

  1. Yes.

    Whatever the shape, if you can sort out the angles & lengths of sides, then you can calculate areas.  At the simplest level, you can alway cut it into a series of triangles & you have formulae for those.


  2. No formula, but here is a method.

    Draw a diagonal and then you have 2 triangles. You know how to find the area of a triangle, right?


  3. measure the sides

    measure one diagonal

    two triangle will be formed

    Find the area of each triangle by the following formula

    area=sqrt[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)]

    where 2s= a+b+c

    a,b.c are the sides of the trianle

  4. Draw the diagonal and by Trigonometry find the length of the diagonal.

    Then by using HERON'S FORMULA ,find the area of two triangles separately and add them up.

    :))  

  5. multiply diagonals by sin angle  between the diagonals

    divide by2

    d1*d2*sin theta/2

  6. Draw a diameter,then you have two triangles.Then you have many formulas.
